FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IS200EPMCS1A is a Single PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Daughterboard manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VIe Series used in GE Distributed Control Systems. The EPMC board plugs into one of the PMC sites and communicates to the processor board through the PCI bus. The PCI interface on the EPMC is PCI Rev 2.2 compliant and supports both 3.3 V and 5 V signal levels. The module also includes an EPMC PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) attached to the baseboard. The EPMC contains 32 kB Flash Backed Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), three 10/100 Megabits Ethernets for IONet connections, temperature sensors for fan loss detection, and Ethernet Physical Layer snoop hardware for precision time synchronization. The CPCI controllers support a single PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) daughterboard called the IS200EPMC. The IS200EPMC contains specific Mark VIe controller hardware functions as follows:

• Power supply monitoring
• Flash backed SRAM
• IONet Ethernets
• Ethernet physical layer packet snooping for precision time synchronization.

FEATURES:

• PMC Form Factor: The daughterboard conforms to the PMC form factor defined by the PCI Industrial Computers Manufacturers Group (PICMG). This standardizes the size and connector layout for compatibility with PMC slots.
• Connector: The daughterboard has a 64-pin or 32-pin connector that interfaces with the host carrier board's PMC socket.
• Processor or Interface: The PMC daughterboard often includes a microprocessor, FPGA, or specialized interface chip for specific computing or I/O tasks.
• Memory: It may feature onboard memory such as DDR SDRAM or Flash memory for program storage or data caching.
• I/O Interfaces: Daughterboards can have various I/O interfaces depending on the application, such as Ethernet ports, serial ports (RS-232/422/485), USB ports, or digital I/O lines.
• Bus Interface: The daughterboard connects to the PCI or PCI-X bus of the host system through the PMC socket.
• Power Supply: PMC daughterboards require power supplied by the host carrier board typically via the PMC connector.
• Indicators and Controls: Some daughterboards have status LEDs, switches, or other indicators for monitoring and control purposes.
• Environmental Specifications: These boards often adhere to specific environmental standards for temperature, shock, and vibration, suitable for various deployment scenarios.
• Software Support: Depending on the application, the daughterboard might come with drivers, firmware, or software libraries to facilitate integration and operation within the host system.
• Expansion and Customization: Daughterboards can be customized or expanded with additional components to meet specific application requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What types of applications are PMC daughterboards used for?

PMC daughterboards are used in embedded computing systems for applications requiring additional processing power, specialized I/O capabilities, or custom interfaces. Common applications include telecommunications, defense, aerospace, industrial automation, and data communications.

How is power supplied to a PMC daughterboard?

Power is supplied to the PMC daughterboard through the PMC connector from the carrier board. The daughterboard typically requires different voltage levels (e.g., +3.3V, +5V) depending on its components and specifications.

What is the difference between a PMC and a PCI card?

A PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) is a standard for mezzanine-style expansion cards used in embedded systems. It is mechanically and electrically different from traditional PCI cards but interfaces with PCI-based systems. PMC cards are smaller and designed for more rugged and embedded applications.
